So I'm trying to shake the blues both long-term and short-term in my life right now, and I'm thinking about start St. Johns Wart regiments but I'm not exactly sure if I want to or not. Has anyone seen actual results for St. Johns or is just another way the Hippy Industrial-Complex can take advantage of my wallet. I heard it helps only long-term and nothing short-term but I'm crashing and I need something other than Weed, Salvia, or Alcohol to fix my woes, because I'm pretty sure it's because I've been smoking Salvia more and more.
Actually, cannabis is supposed to help with depression (and it *is* natural).

Get high on Christ. If not, I can't really recommend much but exercise (trust me, a week of exercise does wonders for shaking the blues), healthy food and doing something new. Anything, really, just something that you've never done before.
I can't really recommend any herbal remedies for short-term moodlifting, since my own semi-pagan lifestyle is a long-term "remedy". Also, heavy drinking works for me, but I can't recommend that to anyone since it isn't exactly healthy.

It works great for my pain relief, since I have a bad back. ;) Plus, it gives me the giggles. :)

Just make yourself be happy. Treatment by music.
My neighbors take meth, I can tell because they think it's appropriate to do lawn work, and house work with hammers and saws at 3 AM.
Your neighbors sound productive. And skinny. And happy.

If you don't like the noise at 3AM, report them for not having green cards. ;)

It's really cool they actually make old computers and ship them to a Mexican Donation company that gives computers to Mexican Schools. I've given them many cases and old motherboards

Maybe it's just Tressant Supreme.
Nexa

I'm not really one for any sort of herbal product. If you are feeling bored, lazy, or depressed I would suggest a change of scenery rather than a change in prescription. Perhaps more hang out time with friends? A new (non MMO) computer to get into? Badminton? If you picked up badminton I would think you were super cool. Write? Draw? Fish? Toe nail collection? Whatever suits your fancy.
I hate to sound like a stereotypical man, but getting laid is a good way to kick off some depression. Seriously, you can't be depressed for at least two days after that.
Did you lose faith?
Yes, I lost faith in the powers that be.
But in doing so I came across the will to disagree.
And I gave up. Yes, I gave up, and then I gave in.
But I take responsibility for every single sin. ♪ ♫
Thank god I stopped playing MMOs.

How about peyote?
To answer your question, if taken correctly St. John's Wort is a very good anti-depressant.
My Parents both took it in place of Paxil

My husband took St. Johns Wart for about 6 months. We really didn't think it made a difference. What ultimately made him happy was finding the root problem and taking the steps to fix it.
So what is making you unhappy? Lots of things? One major thing? Make a list, pick an item and start thinking about what you can do to fix it. Some might be easy fixes, some take a lot of time and sometimes giving up things you may not be willing to.

St. Johns wart is pretty much worthless in my experience, except as a placebo.
I honestly think treating yourself to something nice every once in a while as a reward for (even slightly) bettering your situation would be a more effective anti-depressant than self medicating with pretty much any herbal remedy you can find.

Taking magic mushrooms:
(1) Start with a low dose.
Never take more than 1 gram of dry magic mushrooms. Wait for 90 minutes. If you feel OK and want to intensify the experience you could take some more.
(2) Make sure there is nothing on your head for the next 24 hours.
No work, no school, no visiting of friends or family, no care for children or pets, JUST NO NOTHING!
(3) Make sure to trip in a relaxed environment.
Busy environments with lots of people and noise may cause an information overload. Choose an environment where you are not bothered by people not involved in the experience. Choose a calm, natural, preferably rural place, where you can enjoy the wonders of nature. Choose a place that is familiar to you, a place you know and where you feel save.
(4) Make sure to trip with people you know, like and trust.
Preferably there should be someone around that is not involved in the experience.

Posted: Oct 28 2007 at 2:42 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) How can you honestly call that an experience? Mush = party drug. The more people the merrier. I've been trippin' balls all night, coincidentally, with a large group of guys and girls from work all in costume for Halloween. If you can't handle the drug, don't do it.

Long term fix: Find a therapist or therapy that works for you. I'm a big fan of Dialectical Behavioural Therapy for its statistically proven (long term) effectiveness at "curing" depression and mental illnesses. It's taken you 20 years for your genes and environment to shape the habitual thoughts in your head that are contributing to your depression. Don't expect that you'll be all fixed and better after just a couple of years of therapy.
St Johns Wort does work for some people, to lift their long-term mood while they are on it, but be aware that as a psychoactive chemical, it can interact with other psychoactive medicines. It's extremely important to tell your doctor and especially your therapists that you are on it. Some medications interact dangerously with St Johns wort.
The other thing about St John's Wort is that it makes your skin extremely more sensitive to sun damage. Both the cancerous effect of sun exposure, and the aging effects of sun exposure are greatly heightened. It's extremely important to wear a hat and sunblock on exposed skin surfaces whenever you go outdoors, while you are on St John's Wort. some people find that their skins coarsen a lot while they are on St John's wort.
